You would think it even funnier if you knew the story of how many times I have managed to get coffee all over the counter top because I forgot to put the pot underneath, or forgot to put coffee in the little hopper, and other funny coffee stories. All of them bad.
Before it exploded this evening, I made sure everything was set just right: The coffee in the hopper, water in the top, and pot set on the bottom. It is one of those 2 minutes and the coffee is done makers.
Anyway, the 2nd pot exploded on me too. VOC then took a look at it and found that one of the little holes was clogged.
